Chapter 9

“You’ll give me 20,000 dollars? For real?”

Marshall’s eyes brightened when he heard this. To him, he could gamble all he wanted if he had 20,000

dollars, and having money was everything.

Oliver stated without hesitation, “I’ll give you 20,000 dollars on the spot once we get the divorce

certificate!”

“Okay, deal!” Marshall agreed cheerfully, grinning from ear to ear. Even though he looked like he was

beaten up badly, he was not seriously injured at all. All his wounds were superficial.

Anyway, his family had also pressed him to divorce Joanna, saying that she wasn’t getting pregnant.

As such, this would kill two birds with one stone for him. Not only could he get a divorce, but he could

even get a considerable sum of money from

it.

Oliver immediately helped Joanna into the Porsche 911’s front passenger seat before fastening her

seat belt. Then, he got in the convertible car, opened the roof, and looked at Marshall, who was in a

daze, with disdain. “Get in the back!”

In a trice, Marshall came to his senses and limped to get into the vehicle.

The back seat of a Porsche 911 was only there for decoration purposes, for it was unsuitable for adults

to sit on. Marshall felt very uncomfortable back there.

Thus,

While driving, Oliver said to Marshall, “We’ll get the marriage certificate at your place first before

heading to City Hall.” “All right, all right. Hurry up!” Marshall was afraid that Oliver would go back on his

word and not give the former the 20,000 dollars. Hence, he kept urging Oliver to be quick.

An hour later, Marshall and Joanna got divorced at City Hall.

Without saying a word, Oliver directly transferred 20,000 dollars to Marshall via a QR code.

The latter looked at the amount on his phone with a beam. After leaving City Hall, Oliver walked to his

now

ex-brother-in-law and whispered, “Marshall, I’ll also offer you a separate price. I’ll give you 50,000

dollars if you blind one

of your eyes, 200 thousand dollars if you blind both of them, and 100 thousand dollars if you cut off an

arm or a leg. It’s not a credit transaction, strictly cash. You know my number if you’re ever in need of

money.”

Taken aback, Marshall suddenly trembled and roared in anger, “You’re crazy!”

Oliver simply sneered, helped Joanna get into the Porsche 911, then drove away.

Looking at the divorce certificate in her quivering hands, Joanna couldn’t help but shed tears.

“This one year plus of marriage with Marshall has been a hell-like memory. Is it really over that easily

now, though?” she ruminated.

Joanna turned her head and gazed at Oliver, who was driving, and abruptly felt that he was no longer

the same as before.

“Where did he get the money? Oliver used to be so cautious and timid in everything he did, but he

looks so fired up and courageous now. Also, where did he get such a nice car from?” she wondered.

“Oliver, did… did you…” Joanna became worried all of a sudden and asked cautiously, “Did you… do

something illegal to make money?”

She had just escaped from Marshall’s grasp, so she didn’t want Oliver to face unnecessary troubles as

well.

Oliver smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, Jo. I won’t do bad things that violate the law. My boss insisted I

drive this car, and she gave me 10,000 dollars as my base salary plus commission. I can now earn

approximately 20,000 dollars a month. In addition, I made 800 thousand dollars from selling jadeites

today, so Dad’s medical expenses are completely covered!”

He was afraid that Joanna wouldn’t understand the term “stone gambling,” so he simply said he was

selling jadeites, which sounded better.

Joanna was so surprised that she gaped, saying, “Y-Your base salary is 10,000 dollars, and you can

make 20,000 dollars a month?”

‘Is this for real?

Oliver used to only make less than 1,000 dollars a month in the se…
